Reviews

'A poignant story of a family's luck in one war and tragedy in another. A true Australian story.' -- Barrie Cassidy, author of Private Bill 'Michael McKernan is not only an exceptional storyteller, he brings both sympathy and rigour when positioning individuals within broader, epic tales of warfare, and transforms our understanding of both.' -- Geraldine Doogue 'A must read, told with passion and honesty. At times, I struggled reading this book. It rang so close to my heart, to my own experiences, and to those of others I knew who suffered.' -- Barry Heard, author of Well Done, Those Men 'A must-read.' -- Barry Dick, Sunday Territorian '[McKernan] has an understanding of the consequences of war on individuals, their friends and their families ... [M]oving, fascinating, and full of insight.' -- Nick Goldie, Cooma-Monaro Express
